Chapter 390: Home (1/2)
Hannah and Alex had to wait for nearly 20 minutes before the train arrived. Quite a few people walked out of the train, but it wasn't to the same level as the ones in the big city.
Within the first few passengers, Hannah saw her parents and waved at them.
”Oh look, the kids are here already,” a man in his late 40s said as he dragged a suitcase behind him. He had a clean-shaven face that showed wrinkles on his skin. His hair was short and mixed with white hair. However, the way he was suited in coat and pants made him look like he was a rich person from a rich household.
A woman that looked like she was in her early 30s walked out from behind him. She had beautiful skin and luscious golden hair that she had dyed herself to look better. She was wearing a large pair of sunglasses, and when she took them off, one could see that she had features that matched both Hannah and Alex.
”Hey!” she waved back at Hannah as soon as she saw her waving her hands. ”Oh my god, Alex! Look at you, you're so big. Aww, come here and give aunt a hug,” she said when she saw him.
Alex smiled and hugged his aunt. ”You don't look like you've aged a day, Aunt Liz,” Alex replied before greeting his Uncle-in-law.
”Oh, who taught you to speak such sweet nothings. Although it is true that I still have such young looks. My friends always ask me how a woman in her mid-40s could possibly look this young, and I don't know what to say to them, it's in the genes I guess,” the aunt said with laughter in her voice.
The uncle was used to his wife is obsessed with her mysteriously young looks and shook his head. ”So, when did you guys get here? And where is brother-in-law?” he asked as he checked around.
”Oh, Alex already called him this morning to tell him not to come to pick you guys up. We will be driving you guys there,” Hannah said.
”What?” her mother got angry all of a sudden, ”you brought your car?” she asked.
”Of course we did. What else am I supposed to do with a car?” Hannah said.
”You've only been driving for a week. It's dangerous,” she exclaimed.
”I know, I was careful. Anyway, let's go. You don't plan on standing around here forever, do you?” Hannah said.
Her father said nothing and just shook his head.
They all walked to the car. When the parents saw the car their daughter had bought, even they were shocked. ”Not even your father uses that sort of car,” the mother said in shock.
”How much did you spend?” the father asked.
When they heard the number, they thought their heart skipped a beat. ”Is that all of your money?” the father asked.
Hannah smiled and said, ”you can't make me reveal my income right now.”
The father chuckled a little and put his suitcase in the back. ”Alright kids, get on the back seat, I'm driving from here.”
Hannah wanted to drive, but her father wouldn't let her. So, in the end, Alex and Hannah got in the back seat, while her father and mother sat in the front.
They drove out of the small city they were in about an hour and entered a much smaller town. Even past that town, they drove for half an hour before the road turned into a dirt road.
